C3? Sketch Heightening

Take your scene further by heightening and exploring its game faster. We will discuss some examples of sketches that heighten well, and talk about how to quickly establish and explore a game. Students will bring in a sketch of their own that could benefit from some heightening, then the class will act as a writers room to come up with ways to blow out the game as much as possible.
